The Meeting 


[жя Гыш 


What a mess. We had to have ап 
abbreviated meeting because of the mix 


up by the S&L or the other group. For 
some reason the other group was 
assigned our normal Wednesday date. 


That is why we had to have our meeting 
on the following Monday. But someone 
forgot to tell the other group about 
it. They came on our date and меге 
expecting to hold a meeting. Well 
after some discussion we determined we 
would hold a short meeting and then 
let them have theirs. They have over 
S attendees and we had 15. So we had 
a quick meeting and elected Dick as 
cur Treasurer and adjourned.  Flease 
note Septembers meeting will be on our 


regular day and time. If you have any 
thing vou would like to show or а 
question to be answered please show up 


with them.
